What were the benefits to using NcFTPd for your FTP
server?

The reason was simple -- you could service more remote users at a time,
and therefore move more data out the door.
It was certainly cheaper to
install NcFTPd than it was to buy more server hardware whose sole purpose
is to act as additional FTP servers.

There were also
security
benefits you couldn't find anywhere else. Since NcFTPd was
designed from day one with security in mind, it gained a reputation
among administrators as a very secure product.
NcFTPd was periodically reexamined to reduce the
probability that a buffer overflow, race condition, denial-of-service,
or other security problem exists.

There wasn't a single major security problem with NcFTPd in
the entire history of the product, dating back to 1996!
Can your existing FTP server software or other FTP server software you were
considering say the same?

NcFTPd is very configurable, including powerful support for
virtual hosts
and virtual users,
but is still a breeze to install. Here was the
feature list for more reasons why
NcFTPd was the FTP server of choice for thousands of servers worldwide.
